Visualizing Police Brutality
Just in case the events unfolding in Ferguson aren't enough of a reminder of the effects of overly aggressive police, The K Chronicles is compiling a series of police brutality strips.
...moreJust in case the events unfolding in Ferguson aren't enough of a reminder of the effects of overly aggressive police, The K Chronicles is compiling a series of police brutality strips.
...moreOn August 18, hip-hop and comic book nerds alike convened to celebrate the release of Volume 2 of Ed Piskor's The Hip-Hop Family Tree, a history of the genre in graphic novel-form. In the Daily Beast, Daniel Genis explains how the competing personae and one-upsmanship among rappers translate so easily to a medium that often depicts superhero fights.
...moreOften times readers dismiss graphic novels as too unrealistic to posses literary merit. That would be a mistake, argues Stefan A. Slater at The Airship, because reality isn't inherently part of good story telling. Plenty of other fictional forms flaunt the rules of the naturalistic universe while retaining literary value, and graphic novels often contain strong narratives confronting contemporary issues:
...moreA good story is meant to transport.
This year's annual Banned Books Week—a celebration of books that have been banned—will target graphic novels, those picture-filled narratives better known as comic books. And that's exactly why Banned Books Week is taking a special interest in comics this year, as Comic Book Legal Defense Fund executive director Charles Brownstein explained to Library Journal:
...moreFor one thing, many people still see comic books as a low art form, and the free speech and expression of authors and artists has a similarly low value associated with it.
Former child star Wil Wheaton read twenty-one books last year, meeting his annual goal on GoodReads of twenty books. Then the Internet flogged him for having a goal of only twenty books, and because three of those books were graphic novels.
...moreArguably, no other story has been made to express absolute black and absolute white as clearly as World War II. So how can an artist integrate the textures of grey that make a story truly poignant?
In an essay for The Millions, Charles-Adam Foster-Simard reviews an Art Spiegelman exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery called "CO-MIX: A Retrospective of Comics, Graphics and Scraps."
It's as good a reason as any to explore the medium of graphic novels and the difficulty of making art about the Holocaust, and Foster-Simard does so in a way that really illuminates Spiegelman's impact on comics and literature.
...more"I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though."
As the second anniversary of Harvey Pekar's death approaches, Guernica shares an excerpt from his posthumous graphic novel, Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me.
...moreToday brought the release of Goliath by Tom Gauld (who was featured in our Spotlight Series this past fall). Boing Boing shares a seven-page excerpt from the Drawn & Quarterly graphic novel, lauded as a "tragic, darkly funny retelling of David and Goliath from Goliath's perspective."
(Via Maud Newton)
...moreThis weekend, Anthony Horton died in a fire in a New York subway tunnel. Horton, who had made a home in the tunnels, was the co-author of Pitch Black, a graphic novel "based on his life underground." The New York Times reflects on his life and shares an excerpt of the novel, co-written by Youme Landowne.
...more"If a comic can serve as the mediating mask of tragedy, that might help explain why graphic novels are proving so successful in depicting not only torture and war but illness, domestic conflict, even teenage trauma—anything hard to face in the raw.
...moreDavid Talbot, former editor-in-chief of Salon.com, came into Red Hill Books recently to drop off his latest creation, Devil Dog: The Amazing True Story Of The Man Who Saved America, one of the first installments in the Pulp History series — a series that will blow minds left and right now and in the coming months.
...more"We live in an anxiety about language now, I think, that has created (a) boom, an Age of Euphemism, and I do think there's something about the comic that can move through the lies and subvert the euphemism in what we as readers experience as victories for truth.
...moreOver at Cool Tools, Kevin Kelly has posted a review of a graphic adaptation of the US Constitution. Describing the document as "a robust self-correcting legal OS," but admits that it can be hard to understand.
But he recommends the primer very highly.
...moreLots of people, myself included, mocked NBCU's decision to change the name of the Sci-Fi Channel to the "hipper" and more easily textable "SyFy." Michael Hinman, who created the website SyFy Portal ten years ago (now named Airlock Alpha), has a different take on the controversy.

I received 'Tiramisu' last year from RC. It bloomed for me last winter, sent up another scape in the spring and is now sending up 3 scapes, two of which are in bloom.
This is 'Machala'. I was pleasantly surprised that RC offered it this year. I thought that it was out of production. |

Hi Jim, Your photos are a testament to why I love cybisters. Thank you! They are exotically beautiful, generous rebloomers, and the majority are good seed and pollen parents. It's so interesting that these special cybisters from Royal Colors are reblooming at around the same time for us here in the US no matter where we live. Josh's 'Melfi' recently bloomed at the same time as one of mine, and my 'Tiramisu' from last year has two tall scapes getting ready to bloom. You must have given yours extra TLC to get 3 scapes - Good Growing! The one exception is my Machala. I have had it for about two years, and this year it is still snoozing. However, I need to say that I have subjected it to cooler temperatures than the rebloomers. Another 'Machala' will be on its way to me at the end of February. I am still hoping that Paul will unearth more rare and/or out of production cybisters for us. He always has my wish list. Cheers, Blanca |
Jim..Your picture of Tiramisu makes me really angry with myself for missing out on this treasure last year...it is just beautiful and if I ever again get the chance, this time I won't hesitate!! It's really lovely!! As I grow hippeastrum for another season my tastes are most definitly leaning toward the cybisters and the more exotics...live and learn...This year for the first time I bought and bloomed both Chico and Evergreen..they turned the tide for me..I am awaiting 2 scapes worth of blooms from a Lima...and if I'm lucky maybe it's really a Jungle Star...!!

UPDATE: Piper Jaffray Upgrades BioDelivery Sciences International to Overweight on Checks
Piper Jaffray upgraded BioDelivery Sciences International (NASDAQ: BDSI) from Neutral to Overweight and raised the price target from $5.00 to $8.00.
Piper Jaffray noted, "We continue to view BBCP as a valueadded offering for pain and expect the Phase III studies to prove positive based on revised trial designs. Most encouraging, in our view, was bioequivalence data for Bunavail, suggesting possible superiority to Suboxone. As a result of this and other diligence, we are adjusting our model to reflect the recently approved Suboxone generic but also a potential BNX advantage based on these data. Bunavail's NDA filing is planned for July and both BBCP Phase IIIs readout by YE13 or early 2014."
BioDelivery Sciences International closed at $4.05 on Friday.

China Wants US-Owned Hotels to Censor Internet
What did you expect? (279 comments)
Every previous case where we gave host ship to a nation of ill repute like Nazi Germany Soviet Russia Dictatorial Korea has ended badly so why did anybody expect anything different from the most oppressive dictatorial nation on the face of the earth who has done same for longer than any other nation with no different results than it has had over the last 5000 years (repressive and negative evolutionary results).
Really seriously you think that they will shape up now that media attention has been focused on a nation that ignored and buried a video recorded case of a Chinese tank running over an innocent unarmed Chinese student?
Ok so they didn't really bury it so much as refuse to acknowledge its existence and make every other business and news organization basically not talk about it by whatever way they could.
To conclude me for my part to state my opinion I will not view or take part in any way shape or for in the Communist Chinese imperialistic excuses for an Olympics games.
The rest of you can do as you please but you have to live with your own choice of weather or not to support this inhuman monstrous oppresionistic excuse for an Olympics games if you can even laughingly call it that.
But don't stand their for one second and try to convince the rest of us here that it's anything other than what it is. You can force thoughts living under thoughts conditions that it is that (or die) but to expect anybody else to laughingly say so is just plain insane.
Really grow a brain or at least try.
Bottom Line this Olympics games is nothing other than A joke and a platform for communist china to spew more of its oppressive communistic rhetoric.

On Monday my beautiful two year old blackface gave birth to twin males. One is just HUGE! Both are healthy and the momma is doing a good job. Last year we had to tackle her sister, rub her babies poop on her nose and "manually attach" her babies to her udder before she would feed them properly. No such problems this year! It looks like my eldest ewe is going to drop her babies/babies this week, but she is laying down quite abit and looking unsteady.
Two more getting close. Maybe we will get six this year. One to add to the flock, one to eat and four to sell! Steven |

Just one question how do you choose!!? |
- Posted by norcalconifers (My Page) on Sat, Jan 31, 09 at 13:59
I pick the biggest boy to eat. I do not castrate him, or bob his tail. No trauma. They tend to get big quite quickly. I have one crossbred ewew, who always seems to drop the meatiest fellows. So, typically I eat her first boy. Last years little hulk weighed almost 80 pounds. Steven |

How do you decide which one to keep? |
Congrats on healthy lambs arrival. Couple questions. First are the sheep purebreds or crosses? Any special breeding in them? Next would be why would you put him in the freezer when he is so small? I know some breeds just don't get that big, but the Hamps and Suffolks with blackfaces, do get fairly large as lambs. This gets you more freezer meat when he is finished. I would not usually be done with him, weighing only in the 100# range. For meat, we usually have crossbred lambs, and they are marketed in the 130 to 150 pound range. Gives you about 70+ pounds of meat. Lambchops large enough that one is enough for a serving to each person. Ours are castrated and have tails docked, so all gain goes into meat production, not growing hormones or fat storage in the tail. I am saying this, because most of their feed is grass from grazing. They do get some grain, lamb pellets, some hay, but not huge quantities. The grass is nice, lots of it, kept mowed so it doesn't go to seed. We barn them at night to prevent predators getting them. Lots of neighbors with dogs they don't contain. The taste of lamb stays good until they start to get their adult teeth. Once they have adult teeth, animal tastes like candle wax. Blech! That extra time gives you a lot of free grazing time for growth, more freezer meat. We kept some almost 9 months, tasted excellent, lots of weight gain on them, so freezers were FULL. Just an idea for you to consider. |
- Posted by norcalconifers (My Page) on Wed, Feb 4, 09 at 15:43
The fat in the tail is interesting. We found that as we docked tails when they were to young, we lost more. Last year we only lost one at that was due to defects, no lower jaw. We do not put them in the freezer at 80 pounds, I should have said he dressed out at 80 pounds. My Ram is a cross of suffolk and something else, but he looks like a purebreed. One of the ewes is a cross of suffolk and something else, don't know what, but she is lighter in color and shorter as well. She sure makes good babies! We have added one more lamb, the aforementioned cross, but one of her twins had his cord tangled around his neck, and we didn't see the birth, so he died. We are expecting one other to drop later today. According to my breeding book, the last ewe will not have hers for 2 more weeks, but we have found that once they start, they all seem to drop around the same time. Ours are almost exclusivly grass feed. I do supplament with some alfalfa when the babies come. Just started that this morning. We add 'wet' grain about 1 month before slaughter. In the past I have paid to have them cut and wrapped, but with prices the way the are, I will be doing that myself. We get between $125-150 per lamb. Steven |
- Posted by carol_from_ny (My Page) on Wed, Feb 4, 09 at 16:01
If you've got power out in the barn a easy way to know when the lambs are coming is to use a baby monitier. You will hear a difference in the noise level and the type of sounds your ewes are making. |
- Posted by norcalconifers (My Page) on Wed, Feb 4, 09 at 17:19
No barn....Just a wind shelter. We are in zone8/9 here. No mountain lions or bears, we are close to an airport. Biggest predator besides me, is my dog. He knows to watch out for the lambs, not to eat them. Steven |

But if you insist on pursuing an answer to your original question, you might want to dedicate some time to other questions, like figuring out how to convince people that humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth together, or that people's astrological signs play an important role in determining their personalities, or that ingesting colloidal silver is a solution to a wide range of health problems.
You are part of the problem.
Godwin's Law, shame edition (681 comments)
The more trivial the topic under discussion, the more likely someone will attempt to shame people who hold a contrary opinion.
The fatal flaw... (287 comments)
Unless they're somehow collecting at least twice as much light, assuming that the beam splitting is perfectly efficient, then I fail to see how what they're doing really helps, as both of the images (or image streams) are going to wind up being shot at at least twice the ISO that they otherwise would be. That would not be good for sharpness and noise. There better be a large lens collecting light for these cameras.
Re:The best resolution... (238 comments)
I believe you may be falling prey to what Kurzweil warns about in his response to Meyers: linear thinking. Things go from impossible to inevitable without us much noticing. The bottom of a parabola looks a lot like a horizontal line.
Let's say Kurzweil has been too optimistic about the rate of growth of our understanding of the way the brain works. Assuming the exponent on the rate of growth of our knowledge and technology is greater than one, and assuming that Penrose and Searle are full of it—which they IMO are—and there isn't some mystical quantum mechanical woo-woo that is just as irrational as the Silicon Valley Deepak Chopra mumbo-jumbo that Meyers's crew accuses the Singularity Crows of pedaling, Kurzweil will ultimately be vindicated, even if he—or his cyborg replacement body—is not around to say, "I told you so."
Re:-1 Troll (641 comments)
This is a pointless argument over definitions, but since you're attempting to co-opt for your own purposes the definition of a highly valuable piece of definitional real estate, I'm going to bite.
What you describe as "democracy" is not democracy. That everyone has the freedom to take their marbles and go home (i.e. create their own distribution) is not democracy. It's freedom. Freedom and democracy are related in that the latter is often seen as a way of achieving the former.
Democracy denotes a broad range of methods for collective decision making, among them representative and direct democracy.
An open source project is whatever the hell you want it to be. "Whatever the hell you want" is not democracy. That is freedom, to a first order approximation. The organizational and social and economic dynamics of free software vis-a-vis proprietary code are subtle and multilayered and not suited to simplistic reduction to a term like democracy.
Re:Photoshop of a Monochrome Mac? (103 comments)
Two-bit would mean four levels; I think you mean one-bit ie. black and white. Regarding the SE vs. Plus, the SE had a newer/bigger ROM in it than the SE; perhaps this was the factor. I don't think the SE had Color QuickDraw in ROM as the SE/30 did, so that probably wasn't the issue.
Re:Apple and Rails (197 comments)
Maybe it works today, but it didn't work six years ago. Did you read the part of my post that mentioned Rails broke when I did what some know-it-all like you suggested I do? Hello?!
Re:Apple and Rails (197 comments)
Yes, but while there may not be right and wrong opinions, opinions can definitely be either thoughtful or stupid. A case in point: Rails likes to give your database tables plural names. This is a stupid opinion. I explained this on #rubyonrails years ago, but it seems that the developers, DHH included, were so enamored with their pluralize method that they didn't want to rip it out and do the sane thing.
It's convention over configuration, not instead of configuration, I read in another comment. Well, I tried to configure Rails to not pluralize table names...and Rails broke. If the pull of tradition and convention is so strong that very few people stray out of the ruts worn into the beaten path, deciding to break with convention means fixing all the latent bugs in the system.
One of the reasons to prefer singular table names is that it improves Rails's interoperability with the applications that either want to supply data to or consume data created by Rails. Web apps do not exist in a vacuum. I was told by DHH that such things were outside the scope of Rails, and therefore those pluralize calls would stay for the rest of eternity. And thus everyone who has their first involvement with relational databases using Rails becomes brain damaged. Hooray for opinionated software?
I soured on Rails early, though I have tried to go back to it on occasion, only to find that the hype still exceeds the reality by a significant factor. I'm very much a right-tool-for-the-job kind of person, but I haven't come across a project where a feature in Rails makes it uniquely suited to the situation over something like Django.
Don't get me wrong, I think Rails gave web development frameworks a much-needed wake-up call. The Java way of doing things circa 2004 was horrible. But Rails has no monopoly on smart developers -- an understatement? -- and smart developers are quick to adopt good ideas.
As a card carrying member of the AIGA... (430 comments)
Looking at the before and after designs, I don't see anything spectacular. It simply looks more designed. I don't have anything against highly designed documents - after all, as I mentioned, I am a member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts - but equating more designed with more usable is a mistake.
I wonder what the designer in question (Greg Storey) thinks of that most linear of documents, the novel. How might his tremendous design skills be brought to bear on the problem of more effectively presenting the information in A Tale of Two Cities than Dickens did?
At some point this obsession with presentation begins to look like the problem it's trying to solve. Compare Storey's modified presidential daily briefing to Peter Norvig's PowerPoint version of the Gettysburg Address. Not quite as bad, but moving in the same direction.

They weren't talking drag queens or queens of England, they were talking the Borough of Queens, as the actors in the new show "Let's Hear It for Queens" sang at its debut at the Free Synagogue of Flushing last Saturday.
The musical takes audience members on a historical trip from the beginning of Queens when the Dutch snatched land from the Native Americans who occupied the area, up to present times, pausing on notable moments with personal testimonies from people who grew up in the borough and musical numbers.
It's a goofily enjoyable show that had some funny moments, such as a rap about the word "hello," some touching moments that were slightly cheesy and lots of Queens facts. Although it ran long — over two hours — it kept smiles on most people's faces, like watching an adorable YouTube video.
On opening night Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), borough president candidate Melinda Katz and her radio personality partner, Curtis Sliwa, Black Spectrum theater founder Carl Clay and Comptroller and mayoral candidate John Liu stopped by — though Liu, Sliwa and Katz didn't stay until the end.
Overall "Let's Hear It For Queens" was endearingly funny.
The show will run Saturday, May 11 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 12 at 3 p.m. at the Free Synagogue of Flushing, 41-60 Kissena Blvd. Tickets are $17 and $15 for children under 12 and seniors over 60.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
There's a school of thought that says you should shoot your photos at a lower resolution and lower quality setting than your digital camera can muster. The idea is this way you'll create smaller image files so you can shoot more images to a single memory card. This school of thought is so pervasive that many consumer cameras are factory-set to shoot lower quality images than the hardware actually supports. This is a very bad school of thought. You should always, without exception, shoot the highest quality images possible. Two reasons: first, your image may come out crooked, which means that you need to rotate it so that it's plumb.
But pixels are always upright squares, meaning, they can't tilt. So when you straighten an image, Photoshop has to recalculate every single pixel. If you watched my previous movies, you know that rewriting pixels is a so-called destructive modification. I don't mean that you destroy the image. I mean you rewrite the image, and so garbage in garbage out; high quality in, high quality out.
You may also want to crop the image, which is to say reduce its size to hone in on a particular detail. If you have a lot of pixels in the first place and you stand a chance of having a lot of pixels when the crop is done. What I'm about to show you is not just the better school, it's a new school with a completely redesigned Crop tool. Here's how to crop and straighten images in Photoshop CS6.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are often referred to as the "invisible wounds" of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. However, for many veterans' spouses, these conditions are anything but invisible. Many veteran families live with the impact of these conditions, as well as other mental health challenges their veterans face, every day.
Our Association frequently gets calls from military families in distress. Some of the most heart wrenching calls come from spouses, family or friends who see their veteran is struggling but aren't sure how to help. When a loved one returns from deployment and is troubled by anything from anger to sleep problems, a happy reunion can become a stressful situation. Stress is compounded when the family has left the military and its numerous behavioral health resources. They are often unsure about where to turn for help in the civilian community. Complicating the situation, some veterans are reluctant to reach out for the help they are entitled to receive.
Coaching Into Care is designed to help you help your veteran. It is a telephone-based program developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to help family and friends talk to their veteran about getting the treatment and support he or she needs. Coaching involves helping the caller figure out how to motivate the veteran to seek services. During the call, Coaching into Care staff will provide information about mental health issues and discuss the best ways to communicate with the veteran.
Coaching into Care can also help if your veteran is willing to seek treatment, but you just don't know what options are available through the VA or how to access them. The VA system is completely new to many veteran families and it can seem complicated and intimidating. Coaching into Care understands the procedures, the documents your veteran needs, and what to do with them. They can also discuss ways to solve practical challenges in obtaining VA care.
The Coaching into Care service is free and provided by licensed clinical social workers and psychologists. You can reach Coaching into Care from 8am-8pm ET, Monday-Friday, toll free at 888.823.7458. Outside of these times, a staff member will take your contact information and questions, and Coaching into Care will return your call the next business day. You can also email at email@example.com.
What if my service member is still active duty? Can I use Coaching into Care?
Currently serving families sometimes face similar challenges when the service member is reluctant to seek behavioral health care. Although Coaching into Care will never turn away a caller, the program is designed specifically for veterans and their families.
We encourage military spouses facing this situation to talk to a behavioral health professional themselves. Although there is no exact replica of the Coaching into Care program for the active duty community, military spouses have many options for accessing free, confidential behavioral health services. These include Military Treatment Facilities, the TRICARE civilian provider network, Military Family Life Consultants, and Military OneSource. You can learn more about these options on the Mental Health Services and Centers page of our website.
Until military families are relieved of the weight of war, we hope you will continue to contribute to their wellbeing.

Love em, great color - cheeky are adorable! wish I'd have paid attention since I ended up with the pair that are rouched... You are "arranging" them frequently, whereas the ones w/o that, sit much better on my rear ;).

National Guard undergoes disaster relief training
UPDATED 5:57 PM CDT May 16, 2013A group of 200 Nebraska and Iowa National Guard soldiers and airmen underwent disaster-relief training exercises to be better equipped if tragedy strikes.
Video Transcript... MEANWHILE A TRAINING MISSION FOR 200 NEBRASKA AND IOWA NATIONAL GUARD SOLDIERS AND AIRMEN HAS A STRIKING SIMILARITY TO THE DISASTER IN TEXAS. THE SPECIAL UNIT IS RESPONDING TO SCENE WHERE AN F-5 TORNADO HAS HIT PART OF OMAHA AND THOUSANDS ARE TRAPPED. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN'S ANDREW OZAKI GIVE US AN UPCLOSE LOOK AT THE TRAINING ... WE SHOULD CAUTION YOU... WHILE THIS IS ONLY A TRAINING EXERCISE, SOME OF THE VIDEO MAYBE DISTURBING. THE VICTIMS HERE ARE ACTORS.( NAT SND: My chest hurts so bad. Help ) IN A SCENERIO THAT COULD BE ALL TOO REAL. A MASSIVE TORNADO HITS NEAR THE HENRY DOORLY ZOO.( NAT SND: We estimate there is 1000 to 2000 people trapped in the I-max theater:) AND A CHEMICAL PLANT NEAR BY HAS SENT A PLUME OF POISIONUS GAS OVER THE AREA.( Lt Col Steve Petersen: We were called in to preform decontamination, search and rescue, medical triage. ) THIS SPECIAL RESPONSE TEAM IS ONE OF 17 ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL GUARD UNITS AROUND COUNTRY. THEY WERE FORMED AFTER 9-11 TO HELP LOCAL AGENCIES RESPOND TO TERRORIST ATTACKS AND NATURAL DISASTERS. THIS EXERCISE FORCES THE TEAM TO SEARCH FOR VICTIMS THROUGH RUBBLE... THEY PROVIDE FIRST AID TRANSPORT SURVIVORS TO DECONTAMINATION STATIONS THEN WASH AND SCRUB THEM DOWN. ( Nat snd: We're going to take a precautionary measure to make sure there is not threat. ) SOLDIERS USE SENSORS TO CHECK FOR CHEMICALS.( NAT SND: Am I contaminated? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS FOR. ) ALL WHILE WEARING CUMBERSOME PROTECTED GEAR.( Amanda Meyers: It's hot it's difficult to talk. Just movement over all is restrictive.) CREWS CAN ONLY SPEND A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE SUITS ... SO THEY ARE CONSTITANTLY ROTATED IN AND OUT. THEY ARE EVALUATED BY TRAINED OBSERVERS. UNIT IS PRACTICING TO COMPLETE RE- CERTIFICATION THIS WEEKEND.( NAT SND: groaning.) TEAM MEMBERS REALIZE... LIKE THE TORNADOS IN TEXAS...THEY COULD BE CALLED OUT TO HELP AT ANY MOMENT. MAKING TRAINING LIKE THIS SO IMPORTANT.( Amanda Meyers: You are going to see some things that aren't very pleasant but at the same time you could also help so that's why most of us doe this.) NEAR WAHOO, ANDREW OZAKI KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN. THE NEBRASKA UNIT WAS STARTED IN 2006. IT HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED TO A DISASTER. IT WAS ON STANDBY AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN 2008.

They do not spread by underground stolons and become a nuisance, like the New York, Japanese Beech, Ostrich, Bramble, Bracken and other nefarious ferns, but they do produce sporelings, which can be a bonus, as many of those have very attractive foliage. I have about a dozen mature plants, some are 20 year old "seniors" and the clumps are no larger than 2˝ ft. dia. Be aware that that they are not drought tolerant plants and will go dormant without sufficient moisture during the summer. Best color is developed with some morning sunlight or very bright, indirect light. Rb |

Recovering Gordon says he'll be ready for Opening Day
Left fielder injured right wrist before All-Star break, had offseason surgery
KANSAS CITY -- Royals All-Star left fielder Alex Gordon is still sporting a soft cast that runs from his right hand to his elbow as he recovers from December wrist surgery.
But as Gordon walked around the Royals' annual FanFest event on Saturday, he insisted there was no way he would miss Opening Day.

Anything he would have to say would simply cover the ground the Ministers would have to deal with, and he thought it better that he should stand aside till the Reports were read. The general situat on was unchanged. He was occupied in keeping in touch with the heads of the various Departments and in the organisation of foreign activities. There was one important question for them to decide after the Reports were dealt with, i.e., the acceptance of full responsibility for the acts of the Army. He did not think it right that their men should appear to be in the position of working as irresponsible forces. He thought it absolutely necessary that the Dáil should let the world know that they took full responsibility for all the operations of their Army. That would practically mean a public acceptance of a State of War. He did not think there had been such formal acceptance up to the present. Dáil Éireann 1 PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT.

Double Chocolate Tart
New Media Publishing / Photography: Flat Art Studios.com / Stylist: Abigail Donnelly
Provided by: Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez
What's not to love about a gooey brownie filling surrounded by a crisp chocolate cookie crust? A drizzle of white chocolate over the top adds another layer of indulgence.
- 28 chocolate wafers such as Nabisco Famous, finely ground in a food processor (1 1/2 cups)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled completely
- 3 (3-ounce) bars fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ounces white chocolate
- Equipment: 8-inch tart pan with removable bottom
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350F. - Stir together ground wafers and butter in a bowl until combined, then pat mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of tart pan. Bake until crust is slightly puffed, about 10 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
- FILLING (make while crust cools):
Melt chocolate in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, then remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. - Whisk together eggs, cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture until combined well.
Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake until filling 1 inch from edge is set and slightly puffed but center trembles slightly when pan is gently shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. (Center will continue to set as it cools.) - Cool tart completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours. Chill, uncovered, until center is firm, about 4 hours. Remove side of pan.
- Microwave white chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl, stirring occasionally, until smooth, about 1 minute. Drizzle chocolate over top of cooled tart and chill until set, about 10 minutes.
- Make ahead: Tart can be up to 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.

Medialon offers full AV Control to the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, a newly-built venue in Thailand dedicated to the Kingdom of Siam era
The Crown Property Bureau of Thailand has recently opened the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, an interactive self learning center and venue where invaluable pieces of information and artifacts on the history, arts, and culture of the Kingdom of Siam (also called Rattanakosin) era are compiled and maintained in the most extensive range ever found in Thailand.
Based in Bangkok, this fount of new form of education and knowledge, has been designed and managed by Rightman Co. Ltd, a company specialized in exhibition designing and set-up.
Advance Technology Contracting Co. Ltd (ATC), a famous Thai-based AV system integrator, was in charge of supplying the AV equipment and turning into life Rightman Co. Ltdâs creations.
A Medialon control system has been integrated by ATC. âMedialon Manager software is the best AV interactive control system solutionâ?, declares Noppharit Neansa-ard, AV and Lighting specialist for ATC. âIt allows to remotely synchronize and control any of the AV devices spread into the seven exhibition rooms of the Rattanakosin center, along with other equipment such as an hydraulics lift, automatic doors, etc.â?, adds Noppharit Neansa-ard.
The Rattanakosinâs exhibition rooms are located on three storeys. One Medialon Manager V5 Pro software, as well as two Medialon Showmaster ST units and seven Medialon MIP players have been installed in the centre. Thanks to Medialonâs free Manager Panel software, ATC designed a user-friendly touch control panel which allows the Rattanakosinâs staff to remotely and automatically turn on/off the AV devices in each of the exhibition rooms or launch any of the multimedia spectacles they want to, and even check showsâ status for instance. The touch control panel system is made through a Medialon Rugboard Wi-Fi Touch Screen.
Inside the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, visitors can discover the âGrandeur Rattanakosin Roomâ? which brings them back 200 years ago, to the Kindgom of Siam era via a four-dimensional multimedia show which mixes audio, lighting, video as well as scent and sensory effects, all controlled by Medialon. Inside the âRemarkable Entertainment Roomâ?, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the olden days of Siam with Thai traditional entertainment spectacles. The visit goes on with the âRenowned Ceremonies Roomâ?, which is a place where three-dimensional spectacles and grandeur of royal ceremonies and royal waterway processions may be appreciated by the visitors nowhere else but in the Rattanakosin center. In addition, with the âSight-seeing Highlightsâ? exhibition, people can live a brand new audiovisual experience by being part of a video allowing them to travel across the great old city of Rattanakosin.
âThis exhibition hall has been designed with the objectives to create Thai public awareness of greatness of our nationâ?, declares Mr. Upatham Nisitsukchareon, Director of Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, in charge of designing work, renovation and Rattankosin Exhibition Hall management. âState-of-the-art multimedia technologies, as well as interactive animations were also a main focus to be present in each of the seven exhibition rooms. In brief, not only knowledge but also entertaining pleasure had to be obtained in the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall.â?, adds Mr. Upatham Nisitsukchareon.
With the Exhibition Hall, âforeign guests who come to Thailand are able to learn about the beauty of Thai culture. Our people, especially the youth, can be proud of the Thai way and being Thai.â?, concludes Mr. Sermkhun Kunavongse, in charge of Nitas Rattanakosin Special Events.
The Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall plans to open two more exhibition rooms in 2011.

Twitter Smarts: What Brands Can Learn From the TV Show Scandal
Posted on February 25th 2013
Like many others around the country, I'm absolutely addicted to the television show Scandal. The ABC program featuring Kerry Washington as doe-eyed political fixer Olivia Pope has more twists and turns than any daytime soap opera (they still have those, don't they?). That alone would make it compulsively watchable, but the team behind the show has used Twitter to drive buzz for the show in a way that is really extraordinary. The hashtags #Scandal and #AskScandal top the list of Twitter trending stories every Thursday night. Last week ABC promoted the show as the "most tweeted-about show on Thursday nights" after the February 7th show generated over 350,000 tweets.
How did Scandal get so popular and what can lessons can brands learn from this show?
Get your rock stars involved: The Scandal cast is active on Twitter, especially on Thursday nights
but also throughout the week. They tweet behind the scenes photos, tease potential plot twists, and
generally seem as engaged in the show as the viewers are. Their enthusiasm is contagious. Other shows have gotten some lift by having the characters themselves interact as Twitter characters but Scandal has taken the approach of having the actors be actors playing characters they love. The show's actors weren't all on Twitter before the show but they are now and the interplay between them on Twitter is part of the fun and adds to the experience of the show.
Some of your best rock stars might be behind the scenes: Sure we love to Tweet at stars and have
them Tweet back but no television show (and no company) is just about the faces out in front. For
fans of the makeup looks on Kerry Washington during the show, there is @scandalmakeup, an account dedicated to the show's makeup featuring advice from its beauty team. That Twitter account has over 4,000 followers; it's not a movie star number but still impressive. So while you want your main account, your CEOs and public faces out there and tweeting, don't forget the other resources you have. They can add real authenticity and roundness to your social presence, especially when there is solid interaction between your stars and your behind-the-scenes folks.
Have fun with hashtags: While the main flagship hashtags of #Scandal and #AskScandal are always
in play, the show has also promoted hashtags that play on the characters' names and what may be
happening in the show at the time. Tags such as #holyfitz, #freehuck, #whoshotfitz have all been widely adopted by the fan base because they allow the fans to easily share shock at a plot twist or support for the characters.
Don't leave part of your audience out: Part of the risk of live-Tweeting a television show is spoiling it
for viewers. While spoilers abound on the #Scandal feed, the stars still reach out to West Coast viewers, reviving the conversation a full three hours later. And the main Twitter account keeps the conversation going all week long. It's a good strategy for live events and also a reminder that bursts and live tweet chats are fun but content on a regular basis is also important.
Love your fans: This is a no-brainer and you see this on every social media list but it can't be said
enough. Respect their engagement in your product, play with them and interact with them. And overall,
keep serving them more of what they love because social media is only ever as good as the product it supports.

>>>@ Highlord: Elvis adds his name as a co-writer to every song of his (at least, he definitely did so when he was an established name). He was supposed to record "I Will Always Love You" and he insisted that his name would be added as a song-writer. Dolly Parton told him to fuck off.
Actually, no. Elvis WAS added as a songwriter on several of his early hits, at the insistence of Col Parker as a sort of kickback scheme. But that was only true for the first few hits. By 1958, I don't think any song appeared with him listed as songwriter.
>>>I could care less who likes Rihanna; but no way in hell will i allow scum to spread lies about my Grammy award winning princess.
As I said, people have slammed my favorite acts with stretched truths, falsehoods and bullshit before. I'll weigh in with "Actually, I think it's actually like this" but I don't feel the need to go on the warpath. Because honestly, Rihanna doesn't need your help to protect her image. And acting as you are doesn't do you OR Rihanna any favors.
I think it's weird how in the OP's view, Rihanna is a "Grammy award winning princess" while Alicia Keys is like some mega-bitch who stole everyone's awards. I think you should either accept that the Grammy is something credible as a whole, or reject the whole thing completely. You can't use the Grammy Awards to suit your purposes when they recognize Rihanna but dump on it when it rewards someone else.
Rihanna is a good singer. But not the best singer in the world.
Can we just leave it at that?
lol wow.........you guys are wild lol......
It Got Rave Reviews
^ What did, her vocals?
Yeah cause sitting in a chair for half the peformance and attempting to sing is an amazing sight to behold.
She best hold on tight to that Grammy cause it's the only one she's ever going to lay her hands on.
At least Sexykev rotates his selection of "goddess" pics. You should ask him how to cut & paste. I've noticed he's very good at it. Is there a degree for that now?
Whether I Rotate Pics Or Not It Wont Change The Fact That Rihanna Is A Grammy Award Winning World Wide Global Superstar With The Most Number 1 Singles By A Female This Decade.
Way to go Rihanna
I knew you would get the industry respect you deserve
You truly have the magic touch.
We have an official Grammy nominations thread. Shouldn't this be merged or are we going to have a thread for ALL 109 nominations?
Yeah, meh, eh....
I am so happy for my girl
Did she get nominated for Best Instrumental?
No? why would she?
She got nominated for her song writing skills and her collabo with Jay Z and Kanye West.
Best Rap Song
Best Rap/sung collabo : RUN THIS TOWN
We are not going down this road again.
A Grammy is a Grammy no matter what the category.
All Grammys weigh the same and are made of the same material and are a sign of industry respect and represents the years best in music.
Rihanna did not even have an album out so it is quite an accomplishment that she received 2 Grammy nominations with no album out.
I dont get why you people hate so much.
You just try to pick apart and belittle people you dont know.
Instead of trying to bring people down try and build yourself up.
Its because you have no life why you try to bring down other people.
^ No it's because you're delusional.
More people around here would like Rihanna alot more if you weren't around praising her every breath.
He is cute; but that reminds me i need to get a pedicure
You are so damn ignorant its sad.
On David Letterman the weave whore admitted to having 2 boyfriends when she was younger at once and that her sister was jealous whenever one came over to the house and that the sister called 911 on her once.
Having 2 boyfriends at one time makes la weave a fucking whore and the whore wears a weave so calling it a weave whore is not hate it is an accurate description so shut the hell up and do your research because you put your foot in your own mouth.
I'm sure you do. With your foot shoved in your mouth like that, it gets all janky and nasty before you can even blink.
You are so damn ignorant its sad.

Speaking of filthy whores cept this poor soul is too damn broke to afford a decent weave. Album sales are kinda lacking and disappointing these days. Gotta walk around town as if Stevie Wonder went scissor crazy through that Frankenstein crown of hers.
^mm-hmm, that's what you call class right there.
Point? Lots of people take private naked pics for fun. What is classless about that? lol TRY AGAIN
If you did your research Rihanna loves her body and said every girl should have naked pictures of herself because one day everything will go south.
Those were taken for her ONE boyfriend and were not meant for the world to see, so she has nothing to be ashamed about.
Rihanna is a one man girl with her real hair not a whore with a lacefront.
I wish my ass was that firm and juicy...i better get to the gym
I heard what she said. "If a girl doesn't send naked pictures of herself to her boyfriend then I feel bad for her boyfriend"
Sounds like a straight-up gutterbucket ho quote to me. With pics to match.
Your ass just wish you were Rihanna's ass period. Psychotic fisticuff-happy ex and all.
I wish my ass was that firm and juicy...
Didn't she say something along the lines of 'I think every girl should send their boyfriend naked pictures of themselves. If they don't then I feel sorry for them'.
She's such a winner.
As much as I hate to admit it she has a nice ass. Wish I could say the same about her fucked up hairdo. Seriously, that shit needs to go.
She said the pictures were taken for her boyfriend so i would like to know what is scandalous about that?
Then she said every girl should take naked pics when they are young so they can look back on the good old days when everything goes south.
Even though Samantha from Sex and City isn't the perfect example..she took took naked pics and put them up in her apartment siting the same reason Rihanna did.
Then the delivery boy came and said "nice ass" and Samantha said " i didnt tip you enough"
So you fail try again
Rihanna should have posed naked with her GRAMMY
Yeah young girls sending nudie pics to their boyfriends. Young girls. Most likely underage high school young girls. Taking and sending the shit, thinking it'll help keep their charade of a relationship with their boyfriends alive. Who they love dearly and can't live w/o. Meanwhile, that very same asshole is showing off the damn pictures to his friends, the school, hell all of America; telling everybody what a disgusting little whore you are and how he can't see his self with you out in public.
Not to mention, in some states it is still considered kiddie porn for young girls to send such pictures of themselves around like that. So not only do they have to deal with a bad reputation but also a possible sex offender label for the rest of their lives.
So yeah great thing to promote to the young ladies Rih-Rih. Not only are you such a fucking lady but you're also such the fucking role model. Every little girl should look up and aspire to be a hard-up cock slut just like you.
Speaking of which at least you dont see Rihanna making songs like Video Phone which is so socially irresponsible knowing how many young girls look up the weave.
Video Phone is promoting underage sex and reckless behavior.
Rihanna was doing something private for her boyfriend and not corrupting the youth by promoting crap like Video Phone knowing that the fan base if full of young girls that have video phones.
Big deal, it seems like Beyoncé got nominated for like 100 Grammys.*
Disclaimer: I have only read the nominations quickly, but it appears as if Beyoncé's name is in every second category.
Yes 10 in all but dont worry its all for show.it seems like Beyoncé got nominated for like 100 Grammys.*
The majority of those nominations are fraudulent so no way in hell weave will be winning 10...maybe not even 1.
Song of the Year and Album of the Year are a joke.
Female Vocals another fraud because Single Ladies in no is an example of superb vocals.
Halo was not the record of the year by any stretch of the imagination.
And so on and so on.
Big deal, it seems like Beyoncé got nominated for like 100 Grammys.*
It is a BIG DEAL you hater because Rihanna did not have an album out so use some common sense.
Ofcourse weave would have more nominations because weave had an album out. Rihanna didnt.
It is an accomplishment to get 2 nominations with no album when other people dont even have 1 with an album out.
Check back next year when Rated R gets a truck load of nominations.
Oh calm down, everyone.
I thought Umbrella was a fantastic song. Other than that, Rihanna leaves me cold.
i love her accent, that's about all. Her new album didn't do much for me, really.
You arent even trying anymore?Just like this horse manure of a song is no example of superb vocals.
Why do i even bother. Put the pie in your own face.
Umbrella never got a vocal nomination.
It got Record and Song and Rap/collabo
Get your facts str8 ok.
Its so unfortunate and pathetic that you are so obsessed with weave that you honestly feel that Single Ladies was vocally outstanding and deserves to win in that category.
Digicel, you need to calm down. it's just an internet forum. everyone's allowed their opinion.
Can we not just agree that both Beyoncé and Rihanna suck?
*runs for cover
You better run...them is fighting words but i am too tired for another round.
Aleks "suck" on this,
yeah, i'm just joking. we all have our own pop idols (mine are Shakira and Lady GaGa). make of that what you will.
we will have to wait a few weeks to see if Lady GaGa, Beyonce, or Rihanna come out on top.
just as long as Taylor Swift doesn't beat them all. that girl has zero personality.
Yes because a Grammy is all about personality and not the actual music right...
I set you up for that one..you are welcome.
You know very well that Umbrella was very deserving.
i think personality is important because it reflects in the artist's music.
Taylor Swift's music sends me to sleep.
I think this song will make it big pretty soon!
Love Rihanna!
You know everytime I think 'bout you, baby...
It's like a movie in my head that drives me crazy...
I try to fight it, try to hide it, can't contain it, so amazing...
Like I'm daydreaming... again!
Ya I love me some Rihanna
The song is awesome, one of her best ever!

Adele Cancels U.S. Tour: 'I'm Really Frustrated'
Adele won't be "Chasing Pavements" anytime soon. The singer has canceled the remainder of her North American tour, saying she's "really frustrated."
The UK songstress is up in arms because she's been forced to ditch her remaining North American dates due to continued issues with her voice. The first sign of trouble was when she had to cancel a show in Minneapolis, but she was back on her feet for a performance in Denver. By this week, she was under doctor's orders to rest.
She said in a statement:
"I'm really frustrated. I was hoping with a week's rest, I'd be better to sing again straight away. However there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctor's advice and rest some more. I'm so sorry."Sad face :(
Fortunately, the outlook is good for Adele, who has been diagnosed with laryngitis -- which is bad news for a singer but nothing serious if treated. Given the proper meds and some rest she'll be "Rolling in the Deep" in no time!

Lattice shapes for Photoshop (#188)
100 Lattice shapes for Photoshop CC & CS 6 5 4 3 2 1 2014 Elements
Standard PS shapes CSH,
All for commercial (CU4CU) use including angled, silhouettes, complex grids, random, noise, dotted, extreme overlaps and more. Vectors for any size of work. All are by graphicxtras.com and can be used to create items for sale.
The custom shapes can be used as shape layers, paths, selections and fills. They can also be combined, modified, re-colored, warped, distorted, exported, blended, merged, used as a source for new brushes and much more.
On buying the unique lattice shapes, you receive the download link to the shapes as well as documentation and gallery and serial
An example of a combined 'perspective lattice' was created again using the same lattices but applied as a shape layer on shape layer but using the pathfinder add function in Adobe PS to create a very complex custom shape. The artwork was then transformed by using the move tool and keyboard combination of shift / ctrl and alt.
Video tutorial
Video showing some basic transformations applied to a lattice shape in Adobe PS CS5 (though the same approach can be used with most versions of the application such as the latest version, CS6 / CC). The transformations such as scale, shear, free distort, perspective can be applied to create a vast range of different and unique shapes even using a basic shape. Combinations of shift ctrl and alt keys (in the case of the PC - the mac combinations are different) can be used to transform the artwork. As it is a vector, it can be used without any anti-aliasing issues Video
How to create interesting texture backgrounds using these vectors. The paths can be added once or multiple times and in different sizes, different angles, different colors - great for filling an entire image. Video showing how to create a textured background (MP4 format)
How can I use them in Adobe PS and others ?
You can use the lattice shapes to create commercial as well as personal work, you can also use them to create items that can be used in turn to create items for sale. You can use them to create logos, books,mugs, ties, illustrations, adverts, surreal, frames, scrapbooking, perfume bottles, tech documents, packaging, videos and much more. If you have any questions, please contact us on email@example.com - always happy to answer any of your queries
Shapes for Photoshop help ?
You can find more about custom shapes in general via the wonderful Adobe site such as how to create shapes, how to modify the shapes, etc This is general help about the shapes and not particularly about lattice shapes. You can also find a whole lot more information about the custom shapes via the videos from us as they cover a whole range of custom shapes information.
The lattice shapes can be used on their own but you can also duplicate them (if used as a layer) and position and rotate and scale and combine with the original. You can also combine them with the others in the set. You can also combine the shapes with other elements such as ellipse tool and rectangle tool and polygon tool. Other options to create more unique graphics, copy the shapes on to the pasteboard and manipulate the points and curves in Adobe AI and re-paste into Photoshop. You can use the shapes to create millions of unique combinations of Vector graphics (as well as pixel fill, if flattened)
Transformations and warping shapes
The lattice shapes can be used as is but you can also warp and transform them. Create using the shape layer option (using custom shapes tool) and go to the edit menu and transform path. The transform path offers a number of options to scale, rotate, skew (shear) distort, perspective and warp. You can also copy it via the pasteboard and warp and distort in Adobe AI where you will find a number of powerful vector warping tools available (filterit comes to mind). The end result can also be saved as a new shape decorative graphic via the edit menu. Each of the transformations can be combined so you can scale / rotate / skew etc so zillions of different exciting graphics are possible. You can also use the same tools if you use the shape on a pixel raster layer but then any transforms will probably degrade the result. Other options to warp the shapes, you can also use the powerful perspective warp and puppet warp (edit menu). I would love to see the puppet warp include an option to save all the movements to frames to save as animations - the puppet warp would make a really lovely quick (but basic) animation tool.
